Trish Harkness, CISSP, CHPS, has recorded two webinars to demonstrate how you can use the HIPAA One� tool to assess vulnerabilities and create an action plan for remediation.
How to Complete Your SRA Using HIPAA One�
Completing a thorough Security Risk Analysis (SRA) is vital to protecting your health information and remaining compliant with the HIPAA Security Rule. It is also required to meet the Modified MU Stage 2 measure to protect electronic protected health information. Many Connections health centers will be using the HIPAA One� tool to complete 2017 SRAs.

Completing Your HIPAA One� SRA and Remediation Plan
Completing a Security Risk Analysis (SRA) and engaging in ongoing Risk Remediation Plan is vital to remaining compliant with the HIPAA Security Rule. Many Connections health centers used the HIPAA One� tool to complete their 2016 Security Risk Analysis and will do so again in 2017. HIPAA One� automatically generates a customizable Risk Remediation Plan after all HIPAA security compliance interview questions are documented.
